Age and cognitive issues may hinder you from effectively doing "a good job" of that.

I know. I’m bipolar and have other medical problems. Getting older scares me.

Beyond old age, the vast majority of people are bad at taking care of themselves. So many people that it is not a moral issue. It is a systemic issue.

The problem is, you don’t need to take care of yourself, until you do. Society doesn’t prepare us for that. (I got to learn the hard way.)
